I want to start Christmas baking. We have a ton to bake, and I know from experience I won't get it all done if I wait until the last two weeks of December.

Have any of you frozen baked goods with great success?

Here is what I am wanting to make and freeze:

• White chocolate cheesecake bars (same recipe as my white chocolate cheesecake, but with oreo crust and in bar form)
  • sugar cookies to decorate later

• M&M cookie bars
• cupcakes, not iced
• gingerbread bars with cream cheese icing- iced or not?
• Biscotti
• various chocolate or white chocolate dipped cookies
• cranberry bread

What else can be frozen? I have found in my experience that drop cookie dough does not freeze well, although it is supposed to be fine.
Has anyone ever frozen Biscotti? I was wondering at what stage it should be frozen. I am wondering if it would lose its crispness if frozen. The reason I am including that and the dipped cookies on this list is because they are more involved, and so I might not get to them. I will freeze the cookies undipped and then dip them while they are frozen. But, how long can they sit to be eaten after thawed and dipped? Will the chocolate get weird?
Also, what about cupcakes? Would the papers get all soggy?
We used to freeze sugar cookies at the bakery all the time, so I know those will be OK.

Obviously, cranberry bread is good to freeze.

Any tips? The lull before Thanksgiving is really the best time for me to bake.
